August SPDX General Meeting Minutes

Philip Odence
 


Announcements: 
LinuxCon Europe: If you are attending, there will be a supply chain focused session on Thursday after LC, so consider in your travel planning
LinuxCon NA Bakeoff: A reminder for anyone producing SPDX docs, there will be a “Bake Off” at LCNA and there are still openings for participants. See Kate’s July 23 mailing to the General List for details.
General Meeting Special Presentations: We are always looking for volunteers to talk briefly (10 mins or so) about their organization’s use of SPDX and the License List. If you have a story, I promise, others are interested.

Best,
Phil
